This gets quite close to chindogu, the Japanese art of designing objects that kind of serve a very niche purpose, but then without being useful. https://www.tofugu.com/japan/chindogu-japanese-inventions/

Every few years something like this surfaces, i think mostly completely isolated from Chindogu and about 50% are renders. I honestly think there is something humbling, or “un-uselessness” in making a physical object thoughto both the intended audience and creator.
Funny how some of those ideas are obviously useful, some I even see in stores... and then turns out the selfie stick is an example too, which makes one question the whole categorization.
I like the iPhone Control Center screenshot in there…
I would spend an extra $0.20/lb if my butter came in a stick (though I think the form factor should emulate deodorant and not chapstick) and would shamelessly rock the umbrella tie.
Butter already comes in a stick. It's called a butter stick!
Peel the wrapping from one end; and just like that; you got a big butter stick-stick!
Is it time to model and 3D print a butter-stick stick-pusher? With a little battery and heating coil at the sticking out end. Getting a slightly soft and sticky enough butter out of the butter-stick-stick without it sticking to the stick? What a buttery sticky thought.
i need a roller desk EV.
